So it's been a while since my last update. Again. And I promised this would happen - Spring Break has come and gone and I'm back at school. My Ingrid Michaelson concert (which was AMAZING once again) has come and gone, which means my excursion to Lancaster, PA has also come and gone. And it's back to the daily grind.
Not gonna lie, it's been a little hectic so far: I was given the opportunity to finish my Algebra course a month ahead of schedule because I did so well on my midterm, so now I need to get all of my online work in and finish all of my quizzes by next Friday, March 26. Of course when I agreed to this I forgot that I also have a French exam this Friday and a paper due for U.S. History next Friday, and I haven't finished my readings for Gay & Lesbian Studies for this week nor have I picked out a primary document to analyze for Modern East Asia and I need to have my thesis in my Monday and Lord only knows when that paper is due....
But surprisingly I'm not as stressed as you would think; I work better under pressure, and this pressure is actually motivating me in the best way possible. I started running again, which is awesome - it helps reduce my stress and it's healthy for me; that's what I would call a double-whammy. Of course that's come with it's minor setbacks though - I went running last night for the first time since Winter Break, and it was a little rough. But I made it 1.76 miles before feeling like I was going to keel over, which is definitely a good thing. And then I went running again tonight, and I made it 2.01 miles, but my Nike+ sensor isn't working for some weird reason - it recorded the workout, but now my iTunes won't send the data to my account? I don't know, it's a bunch of jargon that I didn't understand - all I got out of it was that I had to click a bunch of junk on iTunes and now I need to put in another workout before it will let me submit my data to Nike+. Kind of lame since I started a training session and it told me I needed to put in 2 miles today (which I did) and I'm not going again until Friday, so it's going to get mad at me... oh well, it isn't a real-life trainer or something so what's the worst it could do to me? Nothing.
It's not being stressed for once. I've actually gotten a lot accomplished since I've come back, and it's only Wednesday. If I can keep this motivation level up I should be set for the semester. Especially since I'm starting to think about where I'm going to Grad School, which is a pretty big deal. Nothing's definite but for right now it looks like I'm moving to Pennsylvania for the next five years to finish up this degree and then get my Masters in History? But who knows, plans change constantly. And now's not exactly a great time to be making these decisions, because I'm listening to some Allison Weiss (my new obsession after Ingrid) and thinking of how much I need to do... oh shit, it's gonna be a long night!
